Next month it will be 3 years since my free flap operation and even though there have been some minor issues I would have to say like Pete's first it was successful.
I was 1 week in intensive care and after they removed all the tubes another week in a room.
My Aussie friends here (Merrie and Helen) are amused at my pictorial history. I take all the photo's of myself before and after procedures. Will send some photo's via email.
